Ok, we promise – this is the last birthday party for a long while. After a celebration with the Haun family then one with the Jensens, Trey had yet another party at his 4K school.
His class has a party at the end of each month for all the kids whose birthdays were that month. Trey was the only one in August so it was his “special day.”
After we ate cupcakes the teacher ask me if I wanted to read them a story. It brought back a lot of fond memories of my years working at the Dandridge Christian Learning Center back in college.
Here is a short video clip from the party. I was experimenting a bit with color correction and wanted to give it the same look & feel of my birthday videos from the late 80s/early 90s. VHS baby!

While the Jensens were in town we headed down to the lake to have some fun and beat the heat. Ollie enjoyed hanging out in the water with Pappy and Trey had a blast in the ole’ raft.
This past weekend Trey and I went hiking in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area just north of Atlanta. Here’s a video of us hiking followed by Trey singing his “Booger Song” that he came up with on the trail.

Trey loves going into the woods. Usually it’s to pretend we are hunting (for mean squirrels) but sometimes i’st just to pass the time.
Last weekend when Heidi’s family was in town Trey took his grandfather and uncle to our favorite hunting grounds behind our house. He had just received a new Batman mask so he became the masked crusader and was hunting for “bad guys” in general instead of squirrels.
Last Saturday we had Trey’s second (of three) 4-year birthday party. We had friends from around Macon join us at the Amerson Water Works Park in northeast Macon. The highlight of the party was definitely the piñata. It took Trey’s muscle man friend Griffin to decapitate it for the kids to access its candy innards.
Despite the heat, the kids had fun on the great playground at that park. After the festivities several of us headed over to Pho Saigon, Macon’s best (and only) Vietnamese restaurant. We’ve become friends with the owner/chef Bruce and his daughter Suri and Trey are buddies too. Suri, her dad, and baby sister even joined us earlier at the park.
After Heidi left for work the other day (she’s on night shift this month), Trey and I headed over to one of the neighborhood playgrounds. Here are a few photos as well as a vertical panorama I stitched together.
